I'm looking for the parents and siblings of John Belcher, born 26 June 1794. He married Mary Monk 27 Jun 1815 in Russell Co., Virginia. I have a lead that says his father was Jesse Belcher and a Jessee B. Belcher shows up on the RCV personal property tax list from 1793 to 1810. It says wife's name is Elizabeth where he sold some Washington Co., land to William Markum. Researching Isham Belcher and Elizabeth Clay's children, I show several of their sons settling in the area and Isham has a son named Jesse. My problem is that it shows Jesse as born too late to be the father of my John. One source showed him born when his mother Elizabeth was more than 60 years old. Can anyone give a better birth date? I tried sending away to the office of vital records for his death certificate as he is listed on the RCV vital records 1877 death index. They say they have no record of his death in Russell Co. during the period 1876 to 1880. 1860 census shows him living in the Rosedale district of RCV. Could this be near a county boundary and he died and is buried in another county? I'm hoping someone can provide answers or suggest other, more fruitful, avenues of research. Thanks in advance for any help you can give, Bob Belcher
